Qui sommes-nous
CERES - Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies, is an award winning, not-for-profit sustainability centre located in East Brunswick, Melbourne and founded in 1981.
The purpose of CERES is to provide a place which exists to initiate and support environmental sustainability and social equity with an emphasis on cultural richness and community participation. It is also a thriving community, an urban farm, Australia`s largest deliverer of environmental education, an event and conference venue and a place rich with social and cultural diversity. CERES is recognised as an international leader in community and environmental practice.
CERES`green technology displays, buildings, education and training programs and social enterprises (CERES` Organic Market, Café, Permaculture Nursery and Fair Food organics delivery) demonstrate food security, sustainable agriculture, energy efficiencies, renewables and water conservation in action.
These activities are directed to fulfilling our mission to:
• Address the causes of climate change,
• Promote social wellbeing and connectedness,
• Build local and global equity, and
• Embrace and facilitate rapid change.
Community groups such as the Bike Shed, Community Gardens and Chook Group that call CERES home are also part of CERES` culture. CERES is working towards making the site carbon neutral. CERES is a model for a future where innovation, sustainability, equity and connectedness are central.
